London, Nov. t, To-day was a Rood
4y for the defender of Itutnanla's
northern pases. Almost everywhere
the Rumanians had Hie best of It. either
In strong counter attacks or In stuhhorn I
defence of mountain stronghold. Their
flanking movement on Von Falken

ton right win Is still In retreat.
Itusslnn troops nnd guns nre helping
the Itumanlnns where tho need of help
as great. Northwest of Klmpolung the
Russian nrtlllcry wrought havoc In at
tacking German columns, driving tile at
tackers back to their trenches. The Ger
man column cooperating with thin force
t near Drsgoslavele, northeast of Kltnpo
lung, mado no progress.
It seems likely that Kus.il.in aid will
prevent tho fall of Klmpolung. which
wm seriously threatened. The Russian
official statement contains the first of
ficial news of Just whero the Russians
are helping tho Rumanians,
Rumanian luh Ahead.
Tho Rumanian column that began
yesterday to cut their way -uack Into
Transylvania, threatening- the flank of
the Teutons In tho l'rahova Valley,
south of the Predcal Pass, are still forc
ing ahead. They pushed north In the
Teloajen (Tcleagcnl) Valley, near the
..Table Buttl nnd the Rratocca Pass, took
107 prisoners 'and captured two midline
i cunt. Ae few miles cast, on the west
bank of the Buzeu. the Rumanians also
advanced nnd captured material.
Von Falkenhayn's answer to the Ru

southweet of Predeal, recapturing a po
sition the Germans stormed on Thurs
day but lost to the Rumanians that
right. Attacks on tho Rumanians In the
l'rahova Valley were limited to artillery
fire.
The Teuton right wing, mostly Ba
"Yarlan troops, is apparently In dis
astrous rout. The Rumanians announce
that 433 prisoneis were taken, besides
four guns, more than twenty mnchlno
(tuns and much other booty. The total
captures announced by the Rumanians
Mnco the Bavarians began to retreat west

A new Rumanian cffcnelve on the
western -Moldavian frontier, the frontier
of the Carpathians, northeast of the
Trsnsylvnnlan Alps frontier, where the
hottest lighting has gone on lately, is ex
pected here. Berlin reports to-day that
on tho north ni pait of this front fight

Hungarian troops nro reported to have
been drawn from the Transylvnnlnn front
to the Carso by the hl-r Italian offcnolve.
which has thus attalne-J one of Its main
objects, weakening the Moldavian fron
tier forces. The position there Is fa
orabIo for Rumanian-Russian attacks In
concert.
Besides conveying the Intimation that
such an attack la expected to-day's Ger
man statement concedes the loss of
Mount Rosea, which the Rumanians an
nounced they had stormed some days
go.
The only news of the Dobrudja Is In

there were "light skirmishes," probably
the prcludo to n general engagement.

South of the Ancie the situation is

Our aircraft successfully bombed
